Another Goldman Sachs Administration? Nomi Prins says that based on the past history of Goldman Sachs executives in public service, President Trump’s appointment of Goldman Sachs alumni Steven Mnuchin and Gary Cohn means that the one percent of the one percent will continue to feast on the rest of us. The Goldman Sachs Effect How a Bank Conquered Washington By…

Can Trump Deliver? Paul Craig Roberts My view of Trump is conditional and awaits evidence. I am encouraged by the One Percent’s opposition to Trump, or we have just experienced the greatest ruse in history. Indeed, a pointless ruse, as the Establishment had its candidate in Hillary. Trump’s executive orders don’t support the argument that he is acting for the…

The Left Is Self-Destructing Paul Craig Roberts The mindlessness is unbearable. Amnesty International tells us that we must “fight the Muslim ban” because Trump’s bigotry is wrecking lives. Anthony Dimaggio at CounterPunch says Trump should be impeached because his Islamophobia is a threat to the Constitution. This is not to single out these two as the mindlessness is everywhere among…

Only Glass-Steagall Can Save the U.S. from Another Epic Crash Pam Martens Allowing the largest Wall Street banks to brazenly loot the public is now the official policy of Congress. Following the worst financial crash since the Great Depression in 2008, Congress and the Obama administration engaged in the greatest legislative hoax in history in passing the Dodd-Frank financial reform…

The Justice System Is Criminal Paul Craig Roberts On January 23, 2017, I asked, “Are Americans Racists?” I pointed out examples where racist explanations prevail over empirical fact. I did not write that there is no racism in America. I said that racism is not the be-all and end-all explanation of American history and institutions. The point I made is…

Stephen Bannon Is 100% Correct—The Media Is Now The Political Opposition Paul Craig Roberts Bannon is correct that the US media—indeed, the entire Western print and TV media—is nothing but a propaganda machine for the ruling elite. The presstitutes are devoid of integrity, moral conscience, and respect for truth. https://www.rt.com/usa/375271-bannon-trump-media-cnn/ Read the comments in which morons define freedom of the…

Lifting of Sanctions Could Be Costly To Russia Paul Craig Roberts Tweets on social media say Trump is about to lift the sanctions placed on Russia by the Obama regime. Being a showman, Trump would want to make this announcement himself, not have it made for him by someone outside his administration. Nevertheless, the social media tweets are a good…

The Demise of the Left Paul Craig Roberts On several occasions I have asked in my columns the rhetorical question: What became of the left? Today I answer my question. The answer is that the European and American left, which traditionally stood for the working class and peace (bread and peace) no longer exists. The cause championed by those who…

Three days in and Trump has already kept one pledge Paul Craig Roberts On Trump’s third day Trump is one up on the Establishment. Can this last? I am not a Trump booster. I am a scorekeeper. On the third day of his presidency Donald Trump signed an executive order withdrawing the United States from the Trans-Pacificic Partnership (TPP). Based…

The Lost Hegemon: Whom the Gods Would Destroy Book Review by David Ray Griffin F. William Engdahl, who is well known for books and articles in geopolitics, has recently published a book entitled The Lost Hegemon: Whom the Gods Would Destroy. The subtitle refers to a dictum by Euripides, “Those whom the Gods wish to destroy they first make mad.” This book describes…

Are Americans Racists? Paul Craig Roberts “Racist” is the favorite epithet of the left. Every white person (except leftists) is a racist by definition. As we are defined as racists based on our skin color, I am puzzled why we are called racists a second, third, and fourth time due to specific acts, such as favoring the enforcement of immigration…

Trump and the CIA So how come Trump is playing goody-goody with the CIA, some readers ask? https://www.rt.com/usa/374643-trump-intelligence-media-cia/ Come on, guys and gals. You can figure this out for yourself. There are two obvious reasons. One is that Trump thinks the attacks on him were political from the top and did not involve the rank and file. The other is…

The Washington Post & New York Times Are “Disappointed” in Trump’s Inaugural Address The Post and Times are beside themselves over President Trump’s forceful attack on the rapacious and immoral American Ruling Establishment for whom the two pretend newspapers are such faithful servants.

Readers: Flood Facebook and Twitter with this: http://katehon.com/article/trumps-declaration-war The shitheads at Facebook and Twitter are working hand in hand with the CIA to censure truthtellers and have taken actions against Russian websites that post my columns. The lowgrade morons at Twitter and Facebook are going to bring their American monopolies to an end as the rest of the world organizes…

Trump’s Declaration of War Paul Craig Roberts President Trump’s brief inaugural speech was a declaration of war against the entirety of the American Ruling Establishment. All of it. Trump made it abundantly clear that Americans’ enemies are right here at home: globalists, neoliberal economists, neoconservatives and other unilateralists accustomed to imposing the US on the world and involving us in…

Where Is The Left-Wing When A Country Needs One? Paul Craig Roberts I was about to write a detailed and favorable review of Greg Palast’s book, Billionaires & Ballot Bandits when a friend sent me a request to “share” Palast’s Facebook LIVE broadcast of Palast’s documentary exposing “exactly how Trump and his cronies attacked the voting rights of a million…

Remember Don Siegelman Paul Craig Roberts I hope that President Obama commuted Manning’s unjust sentence not as a sop to transgenders, but as a sign that a bit of humanity still remains in the outgoing war criminal president. Manning did his duty and reported US war crimes by releasing the astounding video of US troops murdering innocent people and journalists…

Who Is Paying Protesters To Disrupt Trump’s Inauguration? Update: This from a reader: Dear Dr. Roberts, I just read your recent post regarding the DC protesters. AND interestingly enough, I just had a job interview the first week in December when I had a FEMA sponsored job interview for a position as a FEMA Community Planner. AND interestingly, the interview…

Trump vs. the CIA Paul Craig Roberts When I read Trump’s defenders, such as Daniel Lazare, having to balance their defense with denunciations of Trump, I think the CIA’s propaganda is working. In his article, Lazare asks the rhetorical question, “Is a military coup in the works?” He then goes on to describe the CIA and presstitute coup against Trump…

Trump’s Appointees Might Have Collapsed Under Pressure But Trump Is Still In The Fight Possibly this is fake news to portray Trump as a belligerent loose cannon. He does seem intent on dismantling the carefully constructed system that provides a handful of oligarchs with all the power and wealth. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-01-15/stunning-pair-interviews-trump-slams-nato-and-eu-threatens-bmw-tax-ready-cut-ties-me

Why Were These Two Finnish Journalists and an Elected Government Official Assassinated? http://en.unesco.org/news/director-general-condemns-attack-which-killed-two-journalists-and-elected-official-finland Perhaps because they were investigating a pedophile ring possibly linked to the upper ranks of the Finnish government. https://theinternationalreporter.org/2016/12/06/assassination-of-finnish-reporters-investigating-bizarre-pizzagate-plot-puzzles-russia/ If this is true, it would explain why the Finnish government, which has every incentive to be on good terms with its Russian neighbor, has instead joined Washington’s…

Can Trump Take Back The Presidency From The CIA? Paul Craig Roberts If Trump intends to survive, he must break the CIA into a thousand pieces as President John F. Kennedy intended before the CIA assassinated him. Trump must arrest for treason the neoconservatives and put them on trial. Trump must curtail NSA’s spying, which is in complete violation of…

Europe’s Courageous Journalism Voice Has Passed Away Paul Craig Roberts On January 13, Udo Ulfkotte died, reportedly of a heart attack. Ulfkotte had been an editor at the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitzung. He published a courageous book in which he said that the CIA had a hand on every significant journalist in Europe, which gave Washington control over European opinion and…

Whether or not Goering said this or not, it is the truth. “Naturally, the common people don’t want war, but after all, it is the leaders of a country who determine its policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag people along whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliamentary system or a communist…

What Obama Means By “The Russian Threat” Paul Craig Roberts What does Obama mean when he alleges Moscow “continues to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States.” He does not mean that Russia is a threat in the ordinary meaning of the word. To understand what Obama means by threat,…

Trump Agenda Neutralized By CIA Disinformation Pat Buchanan writes that the hope for normal relations with Russia “is now suddenly impaired.” “The howls of indignation from Democrats and the media — that Trump’s victory and Clinton’s defeat were due to Putin’s involvement in our election — have begun to limit Trump’s freedom of action in dealing with Russia. And they…

Is Trump Already Finished? Paul Craig Roberts It did not take long before we knew there was no hope of change from President Obama. But at least he went into his inauguration with an unprecedented number of Americans on the Mall showing their support for the President of Change. Hope was abundant. But with Trump, we are already losing faith,…

The Establishment Is Trying To Steal The Presidency From Trump And the Liberal-Left Is Helping Paul Craig Roberts Reuters reports that 2,700 US troops accompanied by tanks are moving across Poland toward the Russian border.

Ten Aircraft Carriers Aligned in a Row Paul Craig Roberts Readers have asked me why 10 of 11 US aircraft carriers are lined up in a row in dock allegedly for maintanence. It reminds them of the battleships at Pearl Harbor. Readers ask if this could be an indication that the Deep State is planning a false flag attack on…

Review of The CIA As Organized Crime by Douglas Valentine, Clarity Press, 2017 Paul Craig Roberts If you want to learn about the CIA as a deep state within the surface state, read this book. The strength of this book is that it gives us the goods on the Phoenix program used in Vietnam for assassination and murder and explains…

Fake News at the New York Times An Uncle Tom at the New York Times wrote on January 9 that “Donald Trump is as much Russia’s appointment as our elected executive. The legacy of his political ascendance will be written in Cyrillic. A hostile foreign power stole confidential correspondence from American citizens and funneled that stolen material to a willing…

Is the NYTimes Exiting the Fake News Business? Don’t bet on it. Keep in mind that the fake news did not originate with Buzzfeed but with the intelligence report on Russian election hacking.
